This Credit Information Services Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of the date of the execution of the Subscription Agreement or any other such document which hereby incorporates this document by reference, amongst said Subscriber ("End User"), and Controlled Logic™ (Agent of End-User), and iPreCheck, LLC ("Provider"). This document is hereby incorporated into the Subscription Agreement and is effective and binding upon the Provider and End User upon execution of the Subscription Agreement.
WHEREAS, Provider is an authorized Reseller of TransUnion , LLC. ("TransUnion"); and uses consumer credit data provided by TransUnion/ Fair, Isaac and makes it available to End User for viewing via the controlledlogic.ai user interface.
WHEREAS, TransUnion and Fair, Isaac Corporation ("Fair, Isaac") offer the "TransUnion/Fair, Isaac Model", consisting of the application of a risk model developed by TransUnion and Fair, Isaac which employs a proprietary algorithm and which, when applied to credit information relating to individuals with whom the End User contemplates entering into a credit relationship will result in a numerical score (the "Score" and collectively, "Scores"); the purpose of the models being to rank said individuals in order of the risk of unsatisfactory payment.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration and intending to be legally bound, End User and Provider hereby agree as follows:
1. Subject of Agreement. End User retains Provider to provide credit information services and date, including pre-screening data, demographic data, credit data, TransUnion/Fair, Isaac Scores, and Controlled Logic™ data elements ("Credit Data").
2. End User Qualification. Prior to providing any services under this Agreement, End User must apply for membership for TransUnion's Pre-screened services and undergo Provider's on-boarding and vetting process. If End User is already a TransUnion member, End User may be required to submit a request to TransUnion allowing Provider to service its account. "Vetting" is the screening and compliance process that ensures each End User satisfies TransUnion's requirements and has a permissible purpose to access consumer credit data. "On boarding" is the process by which End User identifying information is entered into Controlled Logic™ and TransUnion's systems.
3. Application. Through electronic interface with Provider, End User will select, identify and submit to Provider either individual consumer records or parameters for populations they wish to identify in the Periodic Screening Process. The results of End User's requests will be encoded and truncated, and appended with other Controlled Logic™'s Data Elements, and made available for viewing via controlledlogic.ai.
4. Fees. End User agrees to pay all fees set forth in the Subscription Agreement, which is incorporated into this Agreement. End User agrees to pay all such fees within the timeframe set forth in the Subscription Agreement.
5. Term. This Agreement shall endure for the length of time stated in the Subscription Agreement (the "Term"), unless earlier terminated for noncompliance as provided below. Upon the expiration of the Term, unless either party gives written notice to the other of termination, this Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis. If Controlled Logic™ believes in its sole judgment that End User has failed to comply with any of its obligations in this Agreement, Provider may unilaterally terminate this Agreement immediately, or take any lesser action Provider deems appropriate, including but not limited to, blocking End User from accessing Provider's services or online databases. Upon termination of this Agreement, End User agrees to immediately pay all fees incurred hereunder.
6. Compliance. In using Credit Data provided hereunder, End User will comply with all Federal, state, and local laws applicable to consumer credit information and nondiscrimination in the extension of credit from time to time in effect during the Term. End User certifies that (1) it has a permissible purpose for obtaining the Credit Data in accordance with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, and any similar applicable state law, (2) any use of the Credit Data for purposes of evaluating the credit risk associated with applicants, prospects or existing customers will be in a manner consistent with the provisions described in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Regulation B, and/or the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and (3) the Credit Data will not be used for Adverse Action as defined by the Equal Credit Opportunity Act or Regulation B, unless adverse action reason codes have been delivered to the applicable consumer along with the Credit Data. Controlled Logic™ Data Elements shall be used solely by End User for direct solicitations of the identified consumers.
7. Confidentiality. Each party will maintain internal procedures to minimize the risk of unauthorized disclosure of information delivered hereunder. Both parties will take reasonable precautions to ensure such information will be held in strict confidence and disclosed only to those of their respective employees whose duties reasonably relate to the legitimate business purposes for which the information is requested or used and to no other person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party will take suitable precautions to prevent loss, compromise, or misuse of any data or other media containing consumer credit information while in the possession of either party and while in transport between the parties. Each party shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances governing or relating to privacy rights in connection with its performance under this Agreement including, without limitation, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB") and its implementing regulations. Each party shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the "nonpublic personal information" of the "customers" and "consumers" (as those terms are defined in GLB) of either party which it holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Each party represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of GLB and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, each party will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow the other party to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section. Without limitation, this may include review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of the providing party.
8.Proprietary Business Processes. Under no circumstances will End User attempt in any manner, directly or indirectly, to discover or reverse engineer any confidential and proprietary business processes, algorithm, or source code of Provider.
9. No License.
